I am sure this will get me slapping my head with my own stuidity, can some one
tell me why i am getting this message when i try to compile my application..

/usr/include/boost/date_time/c_time.hpp:49:70: error: macro "localtime" passed 2
arguments, but takes just 1
/usr/include/boost/date_time/c_time.hpp:57:67: error: macro "gmtime" passed 2
arguments, but takes just 1
In file included from /usr/include/boost/date_time/gregorian/gregorian_types.hpp:26,
from /usr/include/boost/date_time/gregorian/gregorian.hpp:20,
from ./call_asf_import.h:25,

i am using a ubuntu linux box with gcc

i include the following boost lines in the header...

#include <boost/filesystem/path.hpp>
#include <boost/filesystem/operations.hpp>   // includes path.hpp
#include <boost/filesystem/convenience.hpp> // includes all needed
//Boost.Filesystem declarations
#include "boost/date_time/gregorian/gregorian.hpp"
#include "boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp"
#include "boost/date_time/local_time/local_time.hpp"

....
and the gcc line looks like this....
g++ -g -ggdb -Wall -fmessage-length=0 -fPIC -DPIC -fexceptions
-I/usr/include/mysql -DBIG_JOINS=1 -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/libxml++-2.6

any help would be greatly appreciated.
